Hello, I'm looking for a WiFi adapter for gaming knowing that I have a fiber box and my PC is 6 meters away from the box separated by 3 walls.

My PC is running Windows 10 64-bit and I have a USB 3 port.

    OK, that's it. So the model of your BOX is "NB6VAC-FXC-r1" it's that simple.

    This BOX broadcasts two WiFi frequencies, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

    In 802.11 b/g/n radio mode for the 2.4 frequency.

    Whereas the 5 GHz can use three channel widths; 20...40...or 80 MHz this frequency is faster, but doesn't go as far...

    As @brupala said in post 2, his adapter should do the trick in any case, click on "something like that" from his POST and you will be automatically directed...

    For your setup, I gave you the two types of necessary specifications.

    Even with fiber, don't dream of breaking ceilings... it's not useful, but quite sufficient, depending on what SFR allows you in terms of speed and the subscription you made with them.. (you won't be able to go faster than your subscription, you need to be aware of that..!!)

    My apologies for this intrusion into the thread.

    Hello,

    There isn't a specific Wi-Fi key for gaming, the Wi-Fi key is that of your router and it is the same, regardless of your activity... and we don't know it... and we couldn't do anything with it.

    Hello,

    here we don't say wifi key but wifi/usb adapter, the wifi key rather refers to the WPA key, which is called by other wifi password terms.

    For gaming, as you said, nothing beats a direct ethernet cable.

    After that, without knowing your box's capabilities in terms of wifi, we can't optimize, but if we assume that who can do more can do less, get something like that, at least the price is "gamer".

    And there you go, there you have it ....

    But goodness, how annoying those line spacings are!!

      just specify the exact model, the rest we’ll handle if you don't know.

      OK so a box7 at SFR, with wifi5 (802.11ac)

      any usb/wifi5 adapter should work.

      I think it's the BOX-6 (??), but in any case, its WiFi is not 802.11ac; it's said to be 802.11 b/g/n and nothing more.

      But well, with this adapter, it should work anyway..?

    What is requested from you is the exact model of the SFR BOX that you have, not the SFR internet link...

    It should be on a label stuck under the base of the BOX.... you can also take a clear photo.
